About the Play:

'Baba Saheb Ambedkar' is the play phrasing Ambedkar's struggle in his life very sensibly. In this play one will look at Ambedkar being very emotional after losing his pretty dog and also sobbing when he lost his wife. Fighting for his people, he regrets for the same as he sees them becoming what is so called 'Second Class Brahmin'. Above all these Ambedkar looks like a grandpa guiding us in the right path.
